Life Insurance Awareness Month

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. Many times, Americans think about protecting families with insurance that covers healthcare, homes and cars, but overlook how to protect their family’s future. This month, take a few moments to think about life insurance.

Life Insurance helps provide some peace of mind and security for you and your family in the event of death. Benefits can give your family the ability to help pay the mortgage, bills, and funeral expenses or pay off debts. In the event of an untimely death, it may even be used for family counseling or allowing family members to take time away from work for grieving.

But, not all life insurance is the same. There are many types of life insurance and varying levels of coverage available. The two basic types of life insurance are term life insurance and permanent life insurance (also known as whole life). Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific amount of time, while whole life insurance provides protection that can last a lifetime or for the life of the policy. A life insurance calculator can help decide how much is needed for your family’s unique situation.

During Life Insurance Awareness Month, take the time to see if your family could benefit from knowing they are protected for the future. There are many resources to help you understand how life insurance works and decide if it is the right choice for you.
